Editing The Gnoll Magic War (section)

==History==

===Discovery of the Conspiracy===

It was a tradition for each tribe to present a gift at the Meeting of Tribes. The Silverfang Tribe's gift was a magical tome from the [[Rihal Imperium]], given by an “[[Teriarch|Eldavin]]” and [[Ryoka Griffin]].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 2.46}}</ref><ref>{{VERef|Chapter 4.09}}</ref> Along with the tome, the Silverfangs wanted Gnolls to learn magic, having proof of two Gnolls gaining magic classes: Mrsha the [Druid] and [[Ferkr]], apprentice of [[Grimalkin Duveig]]. Ferkr initially could not cast a spell, claiming that something was blocking her. [Shaman] [[Theikha]] summoned Khoteizetrough, the Swamp Elemental of the Gaarh Marsh Tribe, who uncovered and broke a gigantic crystal of magicore buried under the location of the Meeting of Tribes, allowing Ferkr to cast.<ref name=":5">{{VERef|Chapter 8.42}}</ref>

Following the revelation, on the scrying orb, an international committee was formed, thanks to [[Feshi Weatherfur]] and [[Yerranola]]. Comprised of rulers from every continent except Rhir, they interrogated [Grand Strategist] [[Chaldion Oliwing]] of Pallass. Chaldion revealed at least two Walled Cities was involved in the conspiracy, while implying that a Gnoll tribe had also participated. No official verdict was passed by the committee<ref>{{VERef|8.49 M}}</ref>

Knowing war would start, the Drakes went on the offensive. One conflict involved the Drake city of Bentill ambushing the [[Lomost Tribe]]. However, Bentill's army was defeated by Niers Astoragon leading the Fellowship of the Inn, along with Lomost's ally the [[Ghostly Hand Tribe]].<ref name=":3">{{VERef|Chapter 8.52 MN}}</ref> To prevent Niers from interfering in Izril and to create chaos among the Gnolls, Chaldion hired [[Belavierr Donamia]].<ref name=":6">{{VERef|Chapter 8.66}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{VERef|Chapter 8.80}}</ref>

===The Doombearer Incident===
After a battle with the Drakes, Mrsha was revealed as a white Gnoll to the Gnolls of the Meeting of Tribes. Khoteizetrough defended her from some Plain’s Eye killers, announcing her a “Doombearer.”<ref name=":9">{{VERef|Chapter 8.67}}</ref> The suddenly-equipped Raskgnar [[Nokha]] tries to assassinate Mrsha's birth parents [[Mrell]] and [[Prha]]. The attempt is stopped by the [[Halfseekers]]. [Historian] [[Satar Silverfang]] reveals the true story of the Beast of Albez, where the slayer of the Beast become a Doombearer. [Mathematician] [[Yelroan]] and [Warrior] [[Merish]] also reveals that Plain's Eye was way too lucky and received money from the Walled Cities. Merish also reveals that Nokha was hired by Plain's Eye to do the assassination attempt. During a debate between the Chieftains about white Gnolls, Belavierr appeared and revealed that a Daemon of Luck, made up of the corpses of Doombearers, was under the control of [Chieftain] Xherw of Plain's Eye. This ignited a civil war between the tribes. At the start of the battle between Gnolls, Wild Wastes lead a charge into Plain's Eye's side. It would be countered by a darkness spell on the berserker tribe, leading to their devastation. The two sides would retreat into their camp for the night. <ref name=":0" />

When the ghosts of Kasignel alerted Fetohep from the arrival of the Seamwalkers, the King of Khelt activated the Dragonward Bell and decided to intervene the Izril conflict. Along with his undead armies, the Revenants of Khelt and his powerful living troops, he recruited the King of Destruction [[Flos Reimarch]], his steward [[Orthenon]], The [Hero] [[Doubte]], [Queen] [[Jecaina Leysars]] of Jecrass, and the [[Horns of Hammerad]]. He forced the surrender of the Terandrian [Knight] Crusade, [[Medain]] and [[Claiven Earth]], saving King [[Raelt Leysars]] of Jecrass who joined the cause. Using the Revenant Ship [[Sand at Sea]] and the newly acquired Terandrian ships, he convinced the Knights and Herald of the Forest [[Ierwyn]] to join him.<ref name=":8" /> Arriving from the [[Wistram Academy]], [Pirate] [[Rasea Zecrew]], [[Quarass]], [[Gazi Pathseeker]], and [[Amerys]] would also join the cause.<ref name=":7" />

===The Final Day===

Plain's Eye creates a massive volcanic eruption on the Pro-Doombearers. The Elemental Khoteizetrough blocks the spell at the cost of its life, while Gaarh Marsh counter-spells with sinkholes and geysers of muddy water.<ref name=":10" /> After winning a skirmish with Fissival on previous days,<ref name=":0" /> Niers' forces was approaching the Meeting of Tribes, but the Titan was teleported to Baleros by Belavierr per her deal with Chaldion. However, using his new Skill, Niers swapped the places of the Ghost Hand Tribe and [[Perorn Sadiluc]]’s regiment of Centaurs. <ref name=":1" /> The newly arrived Centaurs and the Fellowship charged into the battle, helping the Pro-Doombearers. Mrsha is kidnapped, helped and fought for by all sides. At the cost of the third of luck of Plain's Eye, Belavierr is hired by them and starts attacking the Pro-Doombearers. Meanwhile the Sand at Sea reaches Zeres, where Fetohep launches The Gemstone Giant’s Halberd of Khelt on one of Zeres' tower while the ship continues its path on a nearby river.<ref name=":10" />

Belavierr's attack is so destructive that even the Gnoll Tribes not taking part in the civil war decide to attack her. Salazsar's army lead by Ilvriss fakes a charge against the Gnolls to attack Fissival. Liscor's army attacks by accident Sserys whom takes control of the army to attack Manus. Sserys teleports two Antinium companies from [[Liscor’s Second Army|Liscor's Second Army]] to the battlefield. Klbkch and Wrymvr arrives while Bird starts an Unitasis Network for the Antinium present. Belavierr makes a deal with the prisoners Raskgnars to bring them to a place full of Raskgnars. The Witch also teleports Chieftain [[Torishi Weatherfur]] and her bodyguards with them. Khelt finally arrives at the battlefield with ten of thousand of undead soldiers. All the Walled Cities, even those helping the Gnolls, activate a combined bombardment named the Tidebreaker Contingency. Having planning for that, Fetohep uses the death magic from the sacrifice to create a Graven Passage to Khelt. A second undead army comes forward from it. A part of the Tidebreaker Contingency is also aimed at the Gnolls. Theikha raise a magical paw to block it, but the spell is too strong stopping the [Shaman]'s heart. Khoteizetrough, as his last act, revives her, changing her heart.<ref name=":4" />

Underground, Torishi and her bodyguards die, but manage to kill Nokha beforehand. The living allies of Fetohep finally charge into the battle. The royalty of Chandrar liberates the Daemon of Luck. As thanks, the Daemon uses luck to finally activate the ritual being made in Khelt. All the living Gnoll Chieftains and the successor of those dead charge into Xherw. After a struggle, Merish gets the final blow killing Xherw. The Gnolls and their allies lead by Flos charge into the Drakes. Desperate, [Shaman] Ulcreziek makes a last deal with Belavierr to save Plain's Eye's lives. She transform them all, except [[Yelroan]]<ref>{{VERef|9.07}}</ref>, into Doombearers while Ulcreziek is killed by Manus. The ritual of Khelt activated, the ghosts are now possessing dead bodies all around and helping the Gnolls by fighting the Drakes or the Seamwalkers and the Dead God also using that ritual. As ghosts possessing dead bodies, Archmage [[Kishkeria]], [Chieftain] [[Seru’nial|Seru'nial]], and an extremely ancient [Shaman] uses four spells to help the Gnolls; Split the south of Izril in two, raise the land in that gap, create grass in that [[New Lands of Izril|New Lands]], and explode the network that suppressed the magic of the Gnolls.<ref name=":11" />
